How to Effectively Manage Your Freight
& Logistics
Date & Time: Thurs., September 9, 2021
10:00 – 11:00 a.m. PT
Cost: Complimentary
Content: An increasing concern for California manufacturers is rising
freight rates, largely due to the fact that they make up a
substantial portion of the cost of goods sold. Because freight, as
well as logistics, are crucial to any manufacturer's supply chain,
they should be monitored and managed carefully so business
owners and managers can achieve a better, stronger, and more
responsive supply chain.
During this webinar, Accelerated Consulting Managing Partner &
Supply Chain Advisor Richard Montellano will discuss effective
methods of monitoring and managing your freight and logistics.

Quality 503: Improving Your Root
Cause and Corrective Action Process
Date & Time: Weds., September 22, 2021
11:00 – 12:00 p.m. PT
Cost: Complimentary
Content: It is not uncommon for companies to react quickly to solve
the symptom of a problem but then have the problem reoccur, since
the root cause was not addressed. To break free from this expensive
routine, it's important to properly employ the Quality best practice and
problem-solving method known as the Root Cause / Corrective Action
process (RCCA). Root Cause / Corrective Action describes a range of
tools and techniques used to uncover the causes of manufacturing
problems. It is a foundational element of Six Sigma and all Quality
program certifications as well as an integral part of a manufacturer’s
continuous improvement strategy.
During this advanced quality webinar, CMTC Quality Practice Lead
Eliot Dratch will examine the proper application of Root Cause /
Corrective Action.
Agenda:
• Overview of RCCA and Its Importance
• The Team Approach To Problem-Solving
• Methodical Investigations
• ASQ’s Classic Quality Tools
• Q&A
This webinar is part of a 2021 monthly webinar series focusing on advanced
quality planning topics as they pertain to manufacturers. You are encouraged to
join as many of the webinars in this series as you would like.

COVID-19 Essentials for
Manufacturers: Standards, HR, &
Health Education
Date & Time: Thurs., September 23, 2021
11:00 – 12:30 p.m. PT
Cost: Complimentary
Content: While some may argue that the COVID-19 pandemic environment is
now our "new normal," many small and medium-sized manufacturers
are still struggling to keep up with the fluctuating workplace safety
standards and overall health education of their workforce. With all of
the new data coming out and the frequent shifts in regulations, the same
questions are resurfacing but are seldom answered directly: When and
where are face coverings required in manufacturing facilities? What
does our HR department need to know and implement to be compliant?
Does our workforce need to get the vaccine and do we need to plan for
potential booster shots?
During this webinar, M.R.S. OSHA Safety Consulting's Teddi
Penewell, Los Angeles County Department of Public Health's Armen
Ter-Barsegyan, and CMTC's Jeri Summer will provide guidance on
workplace safety standards, necessary HR-related issues, and
community health education in regards to COVID-19.
Key Topics:
• OSHA Emergency Temporary Standard
• HR-related issues from an employer's perspective
• Updates on vaccination data and mandates
CMTC is hosting monthly webinars on the Cal/OSHA COVID-19
Temporary Standards. We will include updated/refreshed information
for every webinar.
